ABSTRACT
Introduction: Various materials are used to improve the longevity of the dental implants. In our study, we assessed the marginal bone loss around dental implants after implantation with platelet-rich plasma. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective clinical study among 200 subjects who were grouped equally as those with and without the application of PRF in the implantation. The radiographic and clinical features for the marginal bone loss were assessed and compared keeping P < 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: We observed no significant variation between the groups for the mobility, bleeding on probing, plaque index, and marginal bone loss. Conclusion: We can conclude that the application of PRP concentrate did not significantly affect the marginal bone loss in the dental implantation.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been of interest in the clinical application in dentistry. Hence, we evaluated the LLLT on the wound healing in the mandibular surgical extraction. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective clinical study with 50 male subjects, equally distributed as controls and cases. Routine surgical extraction was done for control group, and in case group, LLLT was applied after the extraction. Evaluation was done for various parameters and after comparison the P value was less than 0.05 which was considered as significant. Results: Significant difference was seen between the groups for the socket depth on 7th day, swelling on 1st, 3rd, and 5th days, and pain on all the days. Conclusion: LLLT can be successfully used for the surgical extractions.
